Columbus residents can toss those dried out Christmas trees to the curb free of charge.

Rumpke will pick up the trees for residents the same day their yard waste is collected. The
trees need to be at the curb by 6 a.m. on pickup day.

Yard waste in the city is collected every other week, with recyclables picked up the opposite
week. Residents can determine their yard-waste collection day online at
www.311.columbus.gov/colorday or by calling
614-645-3111.

Trees must be free of lights and ornaments. Cut it in half if it’s more than 8 feet tall. Trees
in plastic bags will not be picked up.

Rumpke will also accept trees dropped off at any of its nine locations throughout the
region.

The most convenient drop-off location for most Columbus residents is the city’s compost
facility, 7000 Jackson Pike. Call 614-645-3152 for hours.
